The Lord of The Rings The Two Towers Part Two Book Three
By J.R.R Tolkien
The Lord of The Rings are good books but I sugest The Two Towers because it has more battles than the first book but not as much fighting as in book three. I also sugest that you read this book because of all the live the caracters act and feel and how they think. Another reson you should read this book because it is more than talking animals it is creating new ideas for the mind to explore and it gives you a good picture of whats going onin the book so you can see their thoughts that is going through their heads. Those are my resons that you should read this book.
